Introduction

Main features

Thirty high-quality sounds
The D1 provides 30 built-in expressive high-quality
sounds, including a stereo concert grand piano. You can
use Layer mode to simultaneously play two sounds at
once.
Effects
The D1 provides 3 built-in digital effects. These effects can
adjust the brightness of the tone (Brilliance), simulate the
natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add rich-
ness to the sound (Chorus).
Metronome
The built-in metronome allows you to select the time sig-
nature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell
sound as the accent.
Touch control
You can choose from five different settings to adjust how
the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynam-
ics.
Temperaments
For authentic performance of a wide range of music, the
D1 allows you to select from nine temperaments, includ-
ing the equal temperament, pure temperaments (major
and minor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and
Werckmeister) as well as temperaments used with Middle
Eastern and Indian folk music. When an acoustic piano
sound is selected, the stretched tuning used on pianos is
automatically selected.
Adjustable pitch
The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the
piano, and the Pitch Control function allows you to make
finely tuned adjustments.
MIDI capabilities
The D1 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that al-
lows music data to be transferred between musical instru-
ments and computers. MIDI allows two or more devices to
control or be controlled by each other, and also allows you
to use the D1 as a 16-part multitimbral tone generator.
